A Study on the Actual Condition of Security Guard in Yeosu Gwangang Port

There are big national infrastructures such as petrochemical industry complexes, steel mills and container berths in Yeosu Gwangyang port. It is required that there be more thorough security guard for the port than other ports, as the port handles not only freights that are important for national economy but also ships that frequently arrival & departure carrying dangerous cargos. Many port facilities are widely spread to Yeosu and Gwangyang areas. It makes it difficult to establish efficient port security guard system. Now Port Authority and a private company are in charge of securing and guarding the port facilities. It couldn’t respond to an emergent situation immediately because the commanding system is not arranged well. As the special guards of the private company are treated poorly compared to the security guards of Port Authority, they leave the company easily. As a result it is hard to produce professional guards. It is an obstacle to establish efficient port security guard system. It is required to unify the commanding line of port security guard system of Yeosu Gwangyang port as soon as possible. They should positively think about establishing a separate organization inside Port Authority that is exclusively in charge of the port security guard.
